Drawing on decades of research across Bangladesh, Malawi, Niger and Mali, Sajeda Amin shows early marriage is not just culture or poverty.
It is about risk, livelihoods, and the absence of real alternatives. ๐ฟ

1/ What does climate change actually look like over time?
These #ClimateStripes, created by Prof. Ed Hawkins @UniofReading , turn temperature records into colour. Blue shows cooler years, red shows warmer years.
Across South Asia, the shift is clear. ๐งต

2/ In Bangladesh, variability gives way to more frequent warm years from the 1990s.
The Maldives shows a rapid move towards consistent warmth.
Even in Nepal and Bhutan, high in the Himalayas, warming is evident.
India and Pakistan follow the same direction. #ShowYourStripes

3/ Compared to the global record, South Asiaโs shift comes slightly later, but recent decades tell the same story. From mountains to deltas to islands, very different environments are warming in similar ways. This is not distant. It is a visible shift towards more frequent heat.

Replug | Life in the #Sundarbans is labour-intensive, harsh often dangerous. Fishing and agriculture have been the two main forms of work but now climate change is taking its toll.

1/ In the drought hit village of Denganmal in Maharashtra, India, some men have married second or third โwater wivesโ as there is no piped supply & women must walk several kilometres daily to reach distant wells. Water scarcity is reshaping gender roles, labour & even marriage ๐ฆ

2/ In Satkhira district in coastal Bangladesh, rising salinity linked to sea level rise means adolescent girls often walk long distances or wait hours at safe water points.
This often comes at the cost of schooling, safety & health. ๐ธ๐

3/ This #WorldWaterDay, the theme is water & gender. Across 53 countries, women & girls spend 250 million hours daily collecting water. #ClimateChange follows existing inequalities. Bringing safe water closer to communities brings girls closer to education, opportunity & choice.
